Pete Orr, Phillies part ways after three magical years

Pattison Ave.

In 2011, you didn't have to do much to endear yourself to Phillies fans. Things were going so well, even Michael Martinez had a nickname, and not an insulting one. The Phillies won 102 games, the most ever for a Phillies team, and on that roster occasionally was an infielder named Pete Orr.

Orr was Canadian, and the only one of his brothers to choose to pursue a sport other than hockey. The Phillies picked him up for infield depth, but the 33-year-old Orr also provided a capacity for speed. He was even good for an RBI now and again.
